Bottle for disinfecting toothbrush

Abstract

A flexible bottle for containing a disinfecting liquid that can be used to disinfect a toothbrush. The bottle has a large reservoir for contain the disinfecting liquid and a small, secondary reservoir that is located proximate to the top of the bottle and which can be filled by squeezing the flexible bottle to force a quantity of the disinfecting liquid into the small, secondary reservoir. There is a cap that is designed to accept a toothbrush for entry into the container and which may have a slot formed therein or flexible flaps. The bottle can, therefore, be filled with disinfecting liquid and a toothbrush introduced into the small reservoir for disinfecting the toothbrush. The disinfecting liquid can then be discarded from the small reservoir and the secondary reservoir refilled as needed by the user.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A bottle for disinfecting a toothbrush comprising a flexible container forming a main reservoir for containing a liquid, the flexible container having a top having a first opening, a cap removably covering the first opening at the top of the flexible container, wherein the cap has a second opening having flexible lips allowing a toothbrush to pass therethrough, a secondary reservoir located proximate to the top of the flexible container, a passageway leading from the main reservoir to the secondary reservoir, wherein squeezing the flexible container forces liquid from the main reservoir upwardly into the secondary reservoir and wherein the secondary reservoir has a third opening having a cap affixed thereto, wherein the cap has a rectangular opening for allowing a toothbrush to pass therethrough. 
     
     
       2. The bottle as defined in  claim 1  wherein the secondary reservoir is located within the flexible container. 
     
     
       3. The bottle as defined in  claim 1  wherein the secondary reservoir is formed along the exterior of the flexible container. 
     
     
       4. The bottle as defined in  claim 3  wherein the passageway is exterior of the flexible container. 
     
     
       5. The bottle as defined in  claim 3  wherein the passageway is located within the interior of the flexible container. 
     
     
       6. The bottle as defined in  claim 1  wherein the first opening is rectangular. 
     
     
       7. The bottle as defined in  claim 1  wherein the secondary reservoir has measured graduations to visually determine the quantity of a liquid within the secondary reservoir.
